The tent-maker question.

I\’ve grown to hate this question: \”What do you do for a living?\”

Why do I hate it? Because, it forces folks to paint such an inaccurate picture of themselves. I\’ve seen quite a few highly skilled and intelligent men and women get asked this question and simply wilt in response. They don\’t want to answer it because they feel it unfairly boils down who they are, and what they\’re capable of to simply what they do to earn money.

A single point of failure.

We started live streaming the Defending the Faith conference last night and things went well… until they didn\’t. Just a little while into the stream our Mi-Fi device decided to power off. That\’s very bad, since that device is the only link between the streaming computer and the internet. If it\’s down, it\’s all down.

Defending the Faith Conference

New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary\’s annual Defending the Faith conference starts today. Tactical Faith has partnered with NOBTS this year to live stream the conference for those who cannot attend in person. The sessions begin with Doug Groothuis tonight at 7:00pm.

A busy start to 2014.

It\’s going to be a busy start to 2014 for Tactical Faith. In addition to pushing out the new website this past week, we\’ve got 3 events in the span of just a few weeks:

Cognitive Dissonance

Dr. Alan Carter spoke to us at the grassroots weekend at Matt\’s house about his view of Apologetics. It was great to hear his views and listen to the back and forth that it generated amongst the group. Alan studied philosophy under Alvin Plantinga at Notre Dame, so we value his opinions on such things immensely.
